Hiyas all can I join your friendly challenge please I sat and worked out I have spent probably close too a thousand pounds in slimming groups weekly charges, bars, magazines bus fare there and back raffles a mad spurt on juice plus and the grand total of pounds lost since last August is +12lbs how pathetic is that, but I will use that as a reminder that hard work from me is all it really takes .. I intend sticking to cals and having hubby weigh me instead maybe even pop a fiver in a tin for a family treat I need to find out how many cals I should be eating tho and go from there x

Have you tried veggie pasta sauces but using Spaghetti Squash or ribbons of courgette instead of pasta? and I understand Cauliflower can make a good rice substitute as well

Hi and welcome

I know where you are coming from with the slimming groups- I attended one for about 6/8 weeks and by the time id paid £5 to be weighed, £10 to join, raffle, special 'choc bars', magazine etc etc it was costing a small fortune so I stopped and just weigh myself now!

I use My fitness pal to track my calories, which you can access free online HTH

I haven't been on MSE for quite a while but I'd like to join in!

Currently I'm living in rural Sweden on a very tight budget and food is very expensive here. There isn't much choice either but I'm choosing to spend my money on veg and legumes rather than biscuits. I'm still allowing myself treats, and I'm still going to bake a few times a week but not go mad and eat it all in one sitting like usual...

I started trying to eat healthy a week ago, had my first weigh in this morning and I've lost 4lb so that's a good start.

Oh dear... I went to Tesc0 for some last day cakes, and found a big celebration cake reduced to £2 plus 6 cupcakes reduced to £1.15. In case people didn't want buttercream frosting (who doesn't though?!?) I also bought shortcake, rocky road, cookies, haribo, and for those one a diet (like me) grapes. Because a few team-mates are on leave I also bought some individually wrapped cakes to leave in their desk drawers for when they get back.

I did say I thought it would be like a kid in a sweetie shop, but tomorrow I have to sit next to this lot all day, and try not to eat all of it! At least I have grapes...
